Summary

This study tested whether pentoxifylline, a drug that improves blood flow, can prevent kidney damage caused by contrast dye used in medical imaging.

Researchers measured how many patients developed contrast-induced nephropathy, changes in kidney function, length of ICU stay, and need for dialysis.
